An Understated Dominance Chapter 1988 by Marina Vittori

“Damn it! Where did these creatures come from? They’re absolutely horrifying!”

“We’re surrounded by beasts! We’re in big trouble!”

“Stop fighting! We must deal with these creatures first!”

The sudden turn of events sent a shiver down everyone’s spine.

The appearance of the mutated wolf pack had already posed a challenge, and now an Onyxclaw emerged. The situation would leave anyone unsettled.

If they continued to fight amongst themselves, their outcome would be dire.

In silent agreement, all factions ceased their fighting and united to confront the impending onslaught of the beasts.

“Darkness has fallen, and this place has turned into a haven for monsters.” Grace’s eyes narrowed with a grave expression.

The current situation had slipped beyond everyone’s control.

Initially, it was a clash between different factions, and now the beasts had entered the scene. With so many looming uncertainties, no one knew what could happen next.

“Howl-!”

At that moment, the silver wolf king let out a long howl.

The giant gray wolves, as if receiving a command, leaped forcefully from the ground, hurtling toward the crowd at incredible speed. In their eyes, these humans were the perfect prey.

Unable to resist any longer, the crimson -hued Onyxclaw made its move as well. With a low roar, it dashed forward like a flash of lightning, pouncing on the nearest person.

“Slaughter these beasts!”

With the Onyxclaw and wolves initiating their onslaught, the martial artists couldn’t be outdone. They raised their weapons and charged forward, confronting the creatures.

These creatures were valuable resources themselves, and killing them could potentially yield substantial gains. In a swift charge, the two sides collided in a fierce and intense fight.

The wolf pack, led by the silver wolf king, was particularly ferocious, violently tearing into the crowd as soon as they entered.

In a matter of moments, over a dozen martial artists lay fallen in pools of blood.

Fortunately, the martial artists had greater numbers, and the presence of divine-level martial artists among them helped stabilize the situation.

While the humans suffered casualties, the wolves fell one by one. However, the crimson-hued Onyxclaw seemed unstoppable.

Immensely strong and invulnerable, conventional weapons barely scratched its fur and only served to intensify its ferocity.

Ordinary low-level martial artists found themselves utterly defenseless against the Onyxclaw, waiting to be slaughtered.

Even divine-level martial artists could only focus on self-preservation, unable to inflict any harm on the Onyxclaw.

“Damn it! This giant Onyxclaw is too powerful! We can’t even harm it!”

The Onyxclaw rampaged through the crowd, leaving chaos in its wake. Within a mere two minutes, it had already torn apart over a dozen people. For a moment, the martial artists were too scared to approach.

“We’re obviously no match for it if we attack it separately. If you ask me, we should attack together and just hack him to death!”

“Fellow martial artists, let’s stop thinking about monopolizing the treasurers. The quicker we deal with these monsters, the sooner the treasures will be ours.

“Let’s not drag this night out any longer lest it bring more trouble!”

“That’s right! Let’s kill it swiftly!”

After a round of rallying, various forces temporarily formed an alliance. All the divine-level martial artists joined forces, launching a collective assault on the Onyxclaw.

Though the Onyxclaw was formidable, it couldn’t withstand the collective attacks, especially when all of them were divine-level martial artists.

After being besieged, the Onyxclaw sustained several wounds. However, compared to its massive body, these random wounds posed no immediate threat.

While everyone was engaged in battle with the Onyxclaw and wolves, a massive monstrous bird silently descended from the sky.

The monstrous bird was entirely black, with feathers as sharp as knives and talons like steel. Under the moonlight, it emitted a chilling gleam.

Dustin sensed something and looked up abruptly. There, he saw the gigantic monstrous bird that soared right across his head, resembling a small airplane. It glided into the crowd with lightning speed.

Dustin recognized the monstrous bird. It was the apex predator that had captured the yellow python the previous night.

The bird’s dive exceeded the speed of sound, reaching the heart of the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

With its sharp, hooked talons, the monstrous bird effortlessly pierced the chests of two martial artists and lifted them off the ground.

With a flap of its wings, it soared into the air once more, reminiscent of a dragonfly skimming the water.

The entire sequence unfolded so rapidly that the surrounding people couldn’t react in time. A mere shadow passed, and their comrades had vanished.

As the monstrous bird beat its wings, it generated a hurricane, causing the people to stagger and struggle to maintain their balance.

“Another creature!” Grace’s eyes widened. She could easily tell that the strength of the gigantic monstrous bird was comparable to that of a grandmaster.

“Grace, we can’t afford to wait any longer. We must seize an opportunity to enter the palace and explore.

“If we continue like this, the number of monstrous creatures will only grow,” Dustin, who had been silently observing, finally spoke.

The dangerous creatures within the oasis remained unknown. While Dustin was able to deal with the current creatures, the uncertainty of encountering stronger ones loomed.

After all, the creatures here defied common sense. Grace glanced at the gigantic monstrous bird hovering in the sky and ultimately nodded.

Night had fallen, and the disturbance would surely attract a multitude of monsters. If they waited any longer, it would only complicate the situation.

“To the palace!” Grace commanded, leading her guards straight toward the palace gates.

“Jackson, quick!” Sophia urged eagerly, pulling Jackson along as they followed closely.

“They’ve finally made a move. I’ll let them test the waters.” Aidan smirked, leisurely trailing behind.

“Damn it! Trying to avoid the hard work? Stop them!”

The entrance of Grace’s team heightened the alertness of the surrounding forces. Some even abandoned their fights with the beasts and turned to attack Grace’s team instead.

Summary An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys had been married for three years. After Dahlia’s meteoric rise to success, she abandons the useless dead weight that’s Dustin, proposing divorce. Unbeknownst to her, everything she had ever achieved was only because of him.

Chapter 1 “Dustin, here is the divorce agreement prepared by Ms. Nicholson. All you need to do is sign them.” In the president’s office of the Quine Group, the secretary, Lyra Blaine, placed a piece of A4 paper on the table. A man sat opposite her, dressed in plain clothing. “Divorce? What do you mean?” Dustin Rhys was taken aback. “Do you not understand what I’m saying? Your marriage with Ms. Nicholson is over. You’re not even on the same level anymore. Your existence is nothing but a smear on the president’s reputation!” Lyra pulled no punches as she spoke. “A smear on her reputation?” Dustin frowned. “Is that how she thinks of me?” Back when they first got married, the Nicholson family was in ruinous debt. He was the one who helped them when they were at their lowest point. Now that they were rich, Dahlia Nicholson was ready to just kick him out. “Something like that.” Lyra jerked her chin toward the magazine on the table. A photo of a beautiful woman was printed on the front page. “Look at the headline on this magazine, Dustin. Ms. Nicholson’s net worth has hit one billion in the course of just three years, a feat no short of a miracle. She’s now the most desired woman in Swinton! With all this, she’s destined for greatness. But you, you’re just a regular joe. You don’t deserve her at all. I hope that you’ll see some sense and do the right thing.” When Dustin remained silent, Lyra frowned. “I know you’re not happy with this, but this is reality,” she continued. “You might have helped Ms. Nicholson when she was in trouble, but she has repaid you for everything you’ve done for her over the last three years. In fact, you’re the one who owes her now!” “Is our marriage just a business deal to her, then?” Dustin took a deep breath to suppress the emotions within. “If she wants to divorce me, let her speak to me herself.” “Ms. Nicholson is very busy. She doesn’t need to trouble herself with such trifling matters.” “Trifling matters?” Dustin was stunned. Then he laughed bitterly. “Is that so? Is divorce a trifling matter to her? She can’t even find the time to speak to me. Truly, she’s that unattainable now!” “Dustin, don’t delay this any longer.” Lyra pushed the divorce agreement toward him again. “Just sign here and you’ll get a car and a house as compensation. On top of that, you’ll also get eight million dollars. This is more than what you’ll be able to earn in your lifetime!” “Eight million dollars is a lot, but…I don’t need it. I will sign the divorce papers if she comes personally. Otherwise, I won’t sign anything,” Duston said coldly. “Don’t go too far, Dustin!” Lyra slammed her hand on the table. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. With all her power and resources, Ms. Nicholson can divorce you easily. It’s only because she appreciates her past relationship with you that she’s allowing you to keep your dignity intact. Don’t provoke her!” “My dignity?” Dustin was a little amused by that. She didn’t even want to speak to him directly to divorce him. What kind of dignity was that? Moreover, if she really did appreciate their relationship, then why was she threatening him now?
